Samsung has unveiled its Artik initiative as part of its push to advance the Internet of Things by connecting devices including drones, fitness trackers, home appliances, light bulbs, security cameras and smartwatches. Artik “centers on tiny circuit boards that come packed with new processors, communication chips, sensors and other components,” reports The Wall Street Journal. “Samsung is also offering software and related services to help configure new devices and connect them to the Internet.” Last year, the company purchased startup SmartThings, which has become part of its strategy to develop a neutral platform for IoT.
